Hosted by Danielle Perszyk, cognitive scientist at Amazon's AGI Lab, the podcast features researchers tackling the hardest problems in agentic AI — from building reliable perception systems to designing training environments that mirror human learning.
The Antibody Developability Benchmark is powered by one of the most diverse antibody datasets in public literature, enabling transparent performance evaluation for AI-guided antibody design.
Challenge pushes teams to demonstrate measurable gains in secure-coding performance while building AI agents that advance real-world utility and reliability at scale.
Initiative will fund over 100 doctoral students researching machine learning, computer vision, and natural-language processing at nine universities.

ICCV 20232023Visual Question Answering (VQA) and Image Captioning (CAP), which are among the most popular vision-language tasks, have analogous scene-text versions that require reasoning from the text in the image. Despite their obvious resemblance, the two are treated independently and, as we show, yield task-specific methods that can either see or read, but not both. In this work, we conduct an in-depth analysis of

AutoML Conference 20232023Large Language Models (LLM) achieved considerable results on natural language understanding tasks. However, their sheer size causes a large memory consumption or high latency at inference time, which renders deployment on hardware-constrained applications challenging. Neural architecture search (NAS) demonstrated to be a promising framework to automatically design efficient neural network architectures.

SPIE 2023 Applications of Digital Image Processing XLVI2023In this paper, we present an encoder-aware motion compensated temporal pre-processing filter (EA-MCTF) that adapts the filter on a block-basis based upon the spatio-temporal content properties and block-level encoding parameters. Some sample parameters include block-level QP, variance and mean-squared error of motion compensated block difference, slice types of adjoining frames, and frequency of a block

ICML 2023 Workshop on Sampling and Optimization in Discrete Spaces2023Accelerated magnetic resonance imaging resorts to either Fourier-domain subsampling or better reconstruction algorithms to deal with fewer measurements while still generating medical images of high quality. Determining the optimal sampling strategy given a fixed reconstruction protocol often has combinatorial complexity. In this work, we apply double deep Q-learning and REINFORCE algorithms to learn the

Interspeech 20232023Answer sentence selection (AS2) in open-domain question answering finds answer for a question by ranking candidate sentences extracted from web documents. Recent work exploits answer context, i.e., sentences around a candidate, by incorporating them as additional input string to the Transformer models to improve the correctness scoring. In this paper, we propose to improve the candidate scoring by explicitly
